It’s perfect. I can’t imagine how he feels but through these words he’s made me understand as closely as I ever could.

‘Get out of that damn room’ is unbelievablely heartfelt.

I'm a bit of a big softy, but by god that, as you say, was heartfelt, simple yet enduring and emotionally powerful. Total respect and sympathy to all those concerned and affected by his death.

Such a shame about the NME but it's been crap for a good few years, so it was inevitable.

Been **** since the 90s, although I'm sure someone older than me will say it's been **** since the 80s and so on.

thanks, i thought that had already happened. i think i mixed it up with the print edition becoming free. a pity, although in the days i used to read it, it was completely up its own bottom* and some of its writers, including some now more generally famous, were much the same.

* rephrased to respect the purpose of the thread.

Iit started being **** in the early 70s when people like Chris Welch thought their views and wit were what readers wanted to hear rather than what the music they were critiquing was like.

Sir John Sulston, scientist who led DNA discovery, dies

Sir John Sulston, the Nobel-prize winning scientist who led efforts to sequence the human genome, has died aged 75.
 
Luigi Taveri - 3 times 125cc motorcycle road racing world champion - died aged 88. Also the only racer ever to score world championship points in 50cc, 125cc, 250cc, 350cc, 500cc and as a sidecar passenger. Started his Grand Prix career in 1954 (even before I was born). I met him when he took part in a classic racing event in 1998 - wonderful guy. RIP.
